The busiest personnel day on the NFL calendar has come and gone. Yesterday, the New England Patriots trimmed their roster down to 53 players, officially ending the preseason and beginning the regular season.
Keep in mind that the Patriots will be without LeGarrette Blount in Week 1 due to his one-game suspension. The Pats also won’t have wideout Brandon LaFell against the Pittsburgh Steelers, as they placed him on the PUP yesterday so he won’t be available for a little while.
Before we get started on the players we are glad to see on the final roster, here are some players that will be missed:
- RB Jonas Gray, he of the 201-yard, four-touchdown effort against the Colts last season.
